Food is needed beginning, the last weeks of June, for the Summer Youth Coalition Programs organized by our Twin-Sister-Parish, Corpus Christi Catholic Church (in North West Detroit on Pembroke Ave. near 8 Mile Rd. and Evergreen Rd.).

We at St. Francis Parish can help provide food for these economically disadvantaged kids by donating food and/or delivering the food.

On June 27/28, 2009, Return the groceries in the bag At Masses.

On Sunday, June 28, 2009, at 12:00 Noon, help deliver the groceries to DETROIT & be back at St. Francis by 4:30PM.
(After you go to Mass) We’ll have a car pool of people going.  Please join us - even if you cannot lift a bag of groceries - come to meet the people involved & to enjoy a free lunch with them.  After lunch we will unload the groceries from the U-haul Truck.
